Monitor Brightness problem

\015 I have a Medion Akoya notebook, which i purchased new about 8 months ago. I was using my laptop without mainspower and it eventually shut down. When i plugged in ac power the brightness of the screen remained low. I tried manually adjusting, ie Fn F4 F5 but it shows brightness at full. I tried adjusting power settings from control panel with no joy.Have also tried going into display properties advance settings for video card and tried adjusting gamma, brightness, contrasting. whilst this adjusts colours etc but cannot seem to configure the same settings that where there before.I think the video card is called, Plug and Play monitor on mobile Intel(R)945 express chipset family.Can anybody help??\015
